He came to later. Eager hands were ministering to him. Feebly he
turned, not knowing for the moment why all of this should be. Then his
eyes beheld the victor and the boy next to him and he realized what
had taken place.

"Sir Gareth," he murmured, as his knights moved aside in response to
the weak gesture of his hand, "yours are a victor's spoils. Well have
you fought and won."

"Sir Brian," the other replied, "I seek but Breunor le Noire and the
release of such knights as you may hold who owe lealty to king Arthur.
You are a brave knight, would that your cause were worthy you."

Now Sir Brian called one of his knights to him. The latter followed by
Sir Gareth and Allan made their way to the dungeon of the castle.
There they found their companion, there too, they found the other
knights of the Round Table who had been made prisoners by those within
the castle. Great was their joy at release and warmly they thanked
their fellow knight.

And now there came a knight to them and told of how well Breunor had
fought and what difficulty they had had to make him prisoner.

"If this youth fights but half as well as do the two we have seen, you
do indeed make a formidable trio."

Then the three rejoined the Lady Linet and the next morn they were
well on their way.
